OUR STEEL OUTPUT.
The Assertions of the "Iron Age" Contra
dicted by Gold Short"

The Assertions of the "IrOn Age" Contra
dicted by Cold Short"
The New York Iron lgc, in its issue of
June ID in discussing the situation in the
soft steel trade, alludeS to the condition in
this city and vicinity ~ "deplOrable, -"
and says the mills hereabOuts look desc
late occasional orders for soft billets Civ
ing work "for for days, and then "the
works shut down again" In Saturdays
issue of the Age Of steel, this sort of thing
is handled thus
THE pioneers in the soft steel trade in
this vicinity not only met with success at
the outset but that success was closely
akin to an unprecedented nature, and, eX-
Cept for some stOppages induced by labor
troubles, their trade has continuously held
onto most gratifying proportions. There
are FIVE steel plants in this Wheeling dis
triCt. FOw let us take their log:
"The Riverside made the first blow on
10th June, 1884; she stopped four weeks
in January, lSS5-nailers' strike; eight
weeks, August and September. 1856
nailers' strike; four weeks, January, 1886
-adj busting wages one week, January,
1SS7-ad iusting wages. Total stoppages,
seventeen weeks, between June 10th, 1884
and June 18th. 1SS7-three years-l56
weeks Percentage of idle time, 10 per
cent The plant was in full activity at the
date the Iron Ages article was written,
and decidedly bids fair to so continue in
definitely.
THE Bellaire has run fully and sue
cessfully from April 2Sth, 1884, date Of
first start, up to present time. Last sum
mer the works were shut down two months
for repairs. Since January l, 1881, they
were stopped part Of two weeks-stOppage
occasioned by breakage Of the shears.
This plant is also in full operation, with
no present indications of shutting down.
THE Junction has stopped two weeks
since January, 1887, on account of strike;
now also running up to full capacity, with
no intention on part of officials of closing
down.
THE Wheeling Company's plant met
with so many hindrances since the first
start, OccasOned by defective machinery,
that they have never gotten fairly into the
trade. Beyond furnishing slabs to the
three factories which operate it conformity,
they have had but little opportunity to
cater for additional patronage. The record
of this plant furnishes no data for correct
criticism.
1.-The Jefferson COmpany's plant is a
new one not yet in perfect working trim
and, of course, does not enter into the
merits of the case; it is in active operation,
but as yet has no record.
Such publications, however well in
tended, do infinite mischief and cause irri-
tation by disappearing affairs. Trade,
always suspicious and vigilant, is misled
and the very conditions which the iron
AGE so Justly deprecates are originated and
nOurished BY them. Newsmongers who
supply class journals with trade gossip, in
their eagerness to see their contributions in
print, sometimes sacrifice good judgment ..

near the foot of Twenty-frst street. Cor
oner Schultze was sent for, and after he
had concluded the examination of the re-
mains Of the man found mt the foot OF

responded. The babe was well developed,
aud had evidently been delivered by some

was every reason to believe, from an ex-
animation, that it had been killed after
birth, ~ one side OF its head and face had
been mashed in as though it had been
struck with some heavy instrument.
There was nothing to indicate who the
child belonged to or who its murderers
were, and the coroner gave orders for its
interment.
